Rejoice! Great news! Marcus Bent has finally got the big-time transfer his talents deserved and Birmingham City have snapped him up in a deal that the club website says "could be worth in excess of £1m." If we now turn our collective thinking and willpower towards Amdy Faye, maybe we can make him disappear too.
Gossip reaches me that there may be a far more basic reason behind the cancellation of the rumoured match with Rochdale in Marbella yesterday. The Dale website relayed the story that our players had arrived too late on Tuesday to make the game. This was a surprise as our own website had reported that the players flew out on Monday. An enlightened soul tells me that our boys did indeed fly out with Ryannair on Monday but there was a row with the airline over the cost of taking all of the kit and it was decided that it would be driven out rather than pay the exhorbitant prices being demanded by the low fares, high extras airline. Presumably our boys didn't have any kit for the match! Not great planning if true.
Delighted Bent has gone, at the start of the summer I'd have been glad if someone gave us a toffee apple each for him, a million plus is a great deal.
